- What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
When should I call a personal injury lawyer? With many personal injury cases, timing is critical. For that reason, we recommend that you contact our personal injury lawyer as soon as possible after the accident. An attorney can help you determine the best course of action to take with regard to your injury. Some individuals only need basic information while others require representation by an experienced lawyer. Whatever their needs, injured victims can expect honest answers and knowledgeable guidance when they contact the Kohn Law Office. Are there any alternatives to litigation? Many claims can be successfully resolved without a lawsuit. Once filed, many suits are still settled before reaching the trial phase. Statistically, only 3 to 5 percent of all claims go to trial. At the Kohn Law Office, the decision to pursue litigation is always the client's decision. In some cases, it may be wise to pursue mediation or arbitration. These alternative dispute resolution procedures are heard by impartial third parties, such as private, retired judges or other attorneys. Typically, the defense must consent to mediation or arbitration, but parties can agree to make such procedures binding, and can determine, if any, the minimum and maximum limits to be placed on awards.
